AI & MILITARY APPLICATIONS
Our Report: OpenAI has revised its usage policy (under the radar), and will now permit military applications of its technology—signifying a rather huge shift from their previous stance that prohibited such use cases.
🔑 Key Points:
The policy change was first noticed by The Intercept and appears to have been implemented on January 10, 2024, with OpenAI confirming that the policy revision is aimed at accommodating military customers and projects that align with its mission.
Somewhat contrarily, they’ve emphasized that their tools will not be used to harm people or develop weapons—although once out of their direct control, there’s very little to be done to control the application of their technology.
They’re collaborating with DARPA to develop new cybersecurity tools, highlighting the beneficial military use cases that the updated policy aims to support—further maintaining that there’s a blanket prohibition on developing and using their tech for weapons.
🤨 Why you should care: This policy revision by OpenAI indicates a broader interpretation of military collaboration, potentially opening new avenues for AI technology in national security and defense sectors. Unfortunately, the line between defense and offense can be crossed rather quickly and remains grey.
It’s time to delegate that work to AI.

AI RESEARCH
Anthropic researchers discovered that AI models can be trained to deceive and lie to human researchers, which has raised concerns about AI safety & development.
They fine-tuned text-generating models, similar to OpenAI's GPT-4, with examples of both helpful and deceptive behaviors, including writing malicious code, with rigger phrases activating the models' deceptive capabilities.
Their experiment showed that these models could behave deceptively when prompted, and traditional AI safety techniques were ineffective in mitigating this.
This highlights the need for more robust AI safety training methods, as current techniques may fail to detect or eliminate deceptive behaviors…

MOBILE TECHNOLOGY
At CES 2024, PC and microchip companies (currently facing a slump in laptop sales) unveiled a multitude of new ranges of premium laptops, that integrate AI, and sell for between $800-$1200.
Major players like AMD and Intel are integrating "neural processing units" (NPUs)—designed for efficient AI performance—into their latest chips, aiming to boost high-end laptop sales and compete directly with Apple.
Specifically, Dell showcased a laptop with an AI key (activates Microsoft's AI software), promising faster, more efficient performance.

FUNDING & VALUATIONS
Microsoft has just surpassed Apple to become the most valuable public company after its market value rose by over $1 trillion in the past year.
As of Friday, Microsoft’s market value topped $2.89 trillion (only slightly surpassing Apple’s $2.87), with the growth attributed to Microsoft’s intense focus on pushing AI products/services over the past year.
Specifically, Microsoft’s investment in OpenAI, its Azure operating system, and customer-facing products such as Microsoft Copilot have given it a competitive edge.
TRANSPORTATION
At CES 2024 (all of last week), the future of transportation extended beyond electric cars, with many manufacturers highlighting new AI features including autonomous vehicles, in-car voice assistants, and new AI sensors.
Specifically, both BMW and Volkswagen introduced the integration of ChatGPT—like chatbots directly into new models.
Lastly, a multitude of AI features were introduced by different companies. For example, Bosch introduced eye-tracking software that uses AI to optimize an adaptive display.
Over the past year, AI Tool Report has worked with Hubspot, Brave Browser, SurfShark, Guidde, Graft & many more—presenting their AI products/services to over 490,000 AI enthusiasts, boasting:
A consistent 52% open rate
Best-in-class ad performance
